  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction The new FuntanaX 100 .90 3D ARF was designed exclusively for Hangar 9 by Italy’s most famous aerobatic pilot, ® Sebastiano Silvestri. He based the FuntanaX 100 on his highly successful KatanaS TOC design. The FuntanaX 100 can do it all—harriers, torque rolls, blenders, and almost anything else you can dream up. It’s all possible, thanks to an extremely lightweight, all-wood airframe and big control surfaces that give the FuntanaX 100 a very impressive thrust-to-weight ratio and crisp control authority at any airspeed.
